Museum School London provides elementary students with an unforgettable week of learning and discovery. This innovative approach to education allows teachers to move their classrooms into a museum setting for a full week of curriculum-based experiential learning, making the arts, science, and Canadian history come to life.
Museum School London is made possible by the generous support of organizations like Canada Life (Presenting Corporate Sponsor), Thames Valley District School Board, London District Catholic School Board, and the City of London. The Kiwanis Club of Forest City (London) also provide funding for this program from time to time.
Eldon House, as a participation site, provides an authentic setting for your class to learn about Victorian life in a week filled with quality and interactive education.
